Abstract
We assayed the content of neurotransmitters (or their synthesizing enzymes) and neuropeptides in the hypothalamus of control and parkinsonian brains post mortem. Only dopamine concentrations were lower than normal in Parkinson's disease, suggesting that deficiency in hypothalamic dopamine transmission may play a role in the autonomic and endocrine abnormalities of this disorder.Entities:
